As you Look Inside ToxSci, you will note a message from ToxSci Editor-in-Chief (EIC) Gary W. Miller regarding the importance of raising awareness with decision-makers about the importance of a “sustained investment and commitment” to science: “Summertime and the living is easy.” While I appreciate some of the downtime associated with the season as depicted by the late Sam Cooke, things aren’t so easy within the scientific enterprise. Toxicology, and science in general, continues to suffer from a lack of sustained investment and commitment from academic institutions, corporations, and government entities. We are being asked to train more students, perform more experiments, complete more paperwork, and publish more papers, yet the necessary investment in the infrastructure of science has not kept pace. As toxicologists we must engage legislators (local to global), regulators, and scientific administrators to emphasize the importance of the foundation on which biomedical research is conducted. We will continue to provide high-quality summaries of our science as you will see when you look inside ToxSci for the best original research in the field of toxicology.”
You also will find four Editor's Highlights, which were prepared by ToxSci Associate Editor (AE) B. Bhaskar Gollapudi on Constitutive androstane receptor in herbicide-associated liver injury, EIC Dr. Miller on Chlorodopamine as a novel mediator of dopamine neuron injury, AE Ruth Roberts on Connectivity mapping to group chemicals using mode of action, and AE Brian Cummings on Lead-induced alterations in gut microbiota composition.
ToxSci, the official journal of the Society of Toxicology, is to publish the most influential research in the field of toxicology.
